Jiang Wei saw the hesitation in Man Chong's heart, but he was not worried about it.
Because before he set off, Mi Yang told Jiang Wei that he had a bargaining chip in his hand to blackmail Man Chong.
With that bargaining chip, there is no need to worry about Man Chong betraying the big man.
As long as he knew this, Jiang Wei didn't have much worries in his heart.
Otherwise, even if he is disrespectful to his elders, Jiang Wei is also a decisive person.
Jiang Wei glanced at the sword at his waist calmly, then leaned back on a big tree and closed his eyes to rest.
In order to hide their whereabouts on this mission, Jiang Wei and Man Chong did not bring many people with them.
Apart from Jiang Wei and Man Chong, there were only a few Jiang Wei's dead soldiers patrolling around in the dense forest.
As the daylight shifted, Jiang Wei, who had closed his eyes for a long time, suddenly heard a noise around him.
After hearing the rustling noise, Jiang Wei immediately opened his eyes.
Then he saw one of his dead soldiers walking towards him.
After the dead man saw Jiang Wei open his eyes, he quickened his pace a little more, came to Jiang Wei and whispered.
After hearing the report of the dead soldier, Jiang Wei's face showed joy.
He relaxed his muscles a little, then came to Man Chong and invited him:
"Manjun, you can go to the city."
Man Chong has been observing the return of the dead soldier and the change in Jiang Wei's expression.
Man Chong was inseparable from Jiang Wei, so it was not difficult to guess what the dead man reported to Jiang Wei.
After arriving outside Lueyang City, Jiang Wei asked someone to send a letter to Xie Lian in the city through special channels.
On the other hand, a dead soldier was sent to guard outside the dense forest to see if Xie Qian in the city would send anyone out of the city.
Now that the dead man came back to report something that made Jiang Wei happy, I guess it was that Xie Qian had indeed sent people out of the city.
Sending people out of the city to bring Jiang Wei into the city was something mentioned in Jiang Wei's letter.
And if Xie Qian was really a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty, he should have sent the letter sent by Jiang Wei intact to the front line and handed it over to Cao Zhang for decision.
But Xie Qian was not like this.
Instead, he opened the letter and did as Jiang Wei said. This action already proved Xie Qian's current attitude towards Jiang Wei's arrival - there was a chance of persuading him to surrender!
Although the Nei Zhong Guan is difficult for ordinary people to understand, for Man Chong, it can be understood in an instant.
Therefore, when Jiang Wei came to invite him into the city, Man Chong stood up without hesitation and followed Jiang Wei towards the outside of the dense forest.
Sure enough, after walking out of the dense forest, Man Chong saw several people dressed as slaves, looking around for signs of Jiang Wei.
When the servants saw Jiang Wei's figure, they knew Jiang Wei, and their faces showed joy.
Several servants quickly stepped forward, bowed to Jiang Wei, and planned to introduce Jiang Wei into the city.
But after they saw several dead soldiers following Jiang Wei step by step, hesitation showed on their faces.
It was obvious that they didn't want to take the risk of bringing in other people.
After Jiang Wei saw the expressions of those slaves, he understood why they hesitated.
Since Zhang He sent troops to guard the grain road in advance, it means that the current situation in Lueyang County is not one where Xie Qian can cover the sky with one hand.
It is normal for several slaves to hesitate because they are worried about the news being leaked.
Moreover, Jiang Wei, who was planning to enter the city, did not think that a few dead soldiers could guarantee his safety.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei took the initiative to let several dead soldiers leave temporarily, and then he took Man Chong and followed behind Xie Qian's slave, disguised himself slightly and walked towards Lueyang County not far away.
When passing the city gate, Jiang Wei found that there were more guards in Lueyang County than in ordinary counties and they were more vigilant.
Judging from the equipment and body shape of those guards, they were definitely not ordinary county soldiers.
Thanks to the cover of Xie Qian's slave, he and Man Chong were able to enter the city smoothly.
When Jiang Wei passed the city gate, he looked at Man Chong.
Both of them had wary looks in their eyes.
Under the leadership of Xie Qian's slaves, Jiang Wei and Man Chong finally arrived at the county government safe and sound.
Xie Qian, who was in the county government, had been waiting for a long time.
Xie Qian met Jiang Wei and Man Chong in a secret room.
Xie Qian's expression was very complicated when he saw Jiang Wei for the first time.
According to the previous relationship, he should call Jiang Wei his nephew at this time.
But now Xie Qian can't pronounce those two words.
However, Jiang Wei remembered his past kindness and called Xie Qian his uncle.
When he saw an old man next to Jiang Wei, Xie Qian's face revealed a curious look.
Although Xie Qian and Man Chong were both ministers of the Wei Dynasty, the status of Man Chong and Xie Qian could not be compared.
There was a huge gap in status, and since Man Chong had been working in the Central Plains, Xie Qian had never met Man Chong.
But Xie Qian also knew that Jiang Wei could bring an old man with him, so the identity of this old man was not simple.
For a time, many speculations flashed through Xie Qian's mind.
Just when Xie Qian was thinking that Man Chong was a certain minister in the Han army, Jiang Wei's introduction to Man Chong almost took Xie Qian's breath away.
"This is Man Jun, Man Boning."
Man Bonin?
With Man Chong's status in Cao Wei, even though Xie Qian was located on the border, he had heard of Man Chong's name.
Because of this, Xie Qian's eyes showed great shock after listening to Jiang Wei's introduction.
What is Man Chong's status in Wei Dynasty?
In the center, Manchong is the pillar minister who is only a thin line away from the position of the three princes.
In the local area, Man Chong was the feudal official with the most military power except for the Cao clan.
From these two points, it can be seen that Man Chong was in the political core circle of Cao Wei.
But such a pillar of the country is now standing in front of his insignificant county magistrate, acting as a lobbyist for the Han army.
This huge contrast in identity and position left Xie Qian so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.
After the strong shock, a look of suspicion appeared on Xie Qian's face.
Manjun, who is famous all over the world, shouldn't be so ungrateful!
After seeing the suspicious look on Xie Qian's face, Man Chong silently took out the seal ribbon that he carried with him.
For a person of Man Chong's status, his seals and seals are made by special means and are extremely difficult to imitate.
After seeing something that could prove his identity, Xie Qian felt bad.
Manjun, you are really so heartless!
Xie Qian knew that Man Chong was captured by the Han army.
But it didn't take long for Man Chong to be captured by the Han army. Who would have thought that Man Chong would surrender in such a short period of time?
The most important thing is that even people with Man Chong's status have voted, so what is he still insisting on as the county magistrate?
All kinds of thoughts constantly hit Xie Qian's mind, completely dispelling his forced composure.
This is one of the reasons why Mi Yang agreed to Man Chong as the envoy.
In Mi Yang's view, Man Chong's status was nothing.
But for ordinary Wei officials, Man Chong's status was a heavy blow.
Seeing Xie Qian's rather messy expression, Jiang Wei immediately struck while the iron was hot:
"I heard that the "Poetry" praises the virtues of the monarch, and the "Music" sings about the achievements of the emperor. The scriptures are different, but the meaning is the same. They are all to show the greatness of the achievements.
During the battle in Liangzhou in the past, Cao Zhen fled and hid in a puddle, like a turtle, living with birds and fish.
In today's battle in Longxi, the Wei army panicked when they heard about our army's Northern Expedition, and dispatched distant troops, causing Huainan to be occupied by the Wu army.
Aren't these two things a reflection of the great achievements of our General Yang?
In the past, the Han Dynasty Zhengshuo could not reach Lueyang, so Cao Cao relied on his personal military strategy to force Liangzhou to surrender to him.
But Cao Cao's evil government was ultimately unpopular. Otherwise, why would the northwest be so troubled since Zhang Wu?
The soldiers and horses of Cao Wei have always taken pleasure in slaughtering. They are like animals and have the hearts of tigers and wolves. It seems that even heaven cannot scare them.
But my general Yang waved his arms, and the Wei army immediately became frightened;
If I, the elite of Liangzhou, raise the flag, the three counties of Longyou will be willing to obey the teachings of the Han Dynasty.
Now the emperor's favor is bathing in the north, and the power of the Han Dynasty reaches Liangzhou.
If by analogy, the entire Liangzhou is once again classified as Han Dynasty, how far will it be one day?
The number of days must not be ignored.
My uncle is also a well-read man. Doesn’t he know where the heavens are in the world today? "
Jiang Wei said these words sincerely to Xie Qian.
After listening to Jiang Wei's persuasion, Xie Qian's mood gradually stabilized.
He looked at the "nephew" in front of him and asked with a hint of farewell, "Are you here to join the Army of the End of Han Dynasty today?"
Hearing Xie Qian's words, Man Chong's face next to Jiang Wei suddenly condensed.
The Zhongjun mentioned by Xie Qian was a young talent during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu.
Zhongjun was eager to learn when he was young, and he became famous in the county for his eloquence in debate and literature. Later, he was selected as a doctor's disciple at a young age. He made friends with the prefect at the county government and was recommended to Chang'an.
Because of Zhongjun's erudition and eloquence, his reputation in Chang'an became more and more popular, and finally he was appreciated by Emperor Xiaowu, who worshiped him as a visitor and gave him a favor.
If we develop step by step, our future achievements will definitely not be low.
But Zhongjun is a passionate young man.
In the fifth year after entering Chang'an, Zhongjun invited him to be an envoy to the Xiongnu. Emperor Xiaowu appreciated Zhongjun's courage and worshiped him as an admonishing doctor.
A few years later, Zhongjun was sent as an envoy to South Vietnam by Emperor Xiaowu's order. Because of Zhongjun's outstanding eloquence, the King of Nanyue surrendered and all of them belonged to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xiaowu then ordered Zhongjun to stay in South Vietnam.
Unfortunately, Lu Jia, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, did not want to serve as an internal subordinate. Later, Emperor Xiaowu sent 2,000 troops into South Vietnam to capture Lu Jia. Lu Jia rebelled and led his troops to kill the King of South Vietnam, the Han envoy Zhongjun and others.
Zhong Jun was only in his twenties when he died.
Although Zhongjun died young, his deeds have been passed down and inspired countless passionate young people for hundreds of years.
Now Xie Qian compared Jiang Wei to Zhongjun. On the one hand, he was appreciating Jiang Wei's courage, but on the other hand, he was threatening Jiang Wei.
Don't forget, no matter how much Jiang Wei talks about lotus flowers, his and Man Chong's current lives are tied to Xie Qian's thoughts.
But just when Man Chong was worried about Jiang Wei and wanted to speak out for Jiang Wei to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Wei looked directly at Xie Qian and said: "If uncle is ignorant, what if I am the final army?
Even if I die, can I make tens of thousands of Han troops retreat?
Or will it allow Cao Zhang to defeat my General Yang?
I can be the final army, but I can also be Fu Jiezi! "
Jiang Wei's two rhetorical questions made Xie Qian lose all the courage he had just mustered up, and his eyes became even more wandering.
Because what Jiang Wei said is true.
And the mention of Fu Jiezi at the end of Jiang Wei's words made Xie Qian even more jealous.
Fu Jiezi was a person from Liangzhou during the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, compared to Zhongjun, Fu Jiezi's deeds were more widely spread in Liangzhou.
Fu Jiezi, like Zhongjun, was a famous envoy during the Western Han Dynasty. However, unlike Zhongjun, Zhongjun used his clever tongue as a sharp blade when sending envoys, while Fu Jiezi really carried a sharp blade.
When Fu Jiezi went on a mission to the Western Regions, because the Huns' envoys interfered and undermined the Han's sovereignty in the Western Regions, Fu Jiezi directly led his team to intercept and kill the Huns' envoys.
After completing this matter, Fu Jiezi felt that this was not enough to establish the majesty of the Han Dynasty, so he asked General Huo Guang to assassinate King Loulan.
Under Fu Jiezi's plan, he and his men successfully killed King Loulan.
Facing the guards who kept coming after learning about the death of King Loulan, Fu Jiezi left in front of them a sentence that has been passed down through the ages without changing his expression:
"The Han troops have just arrived. Don't dare to move. If you move, you will destroy the country!"
With just such a sentence, Fu Jiezi intimidated hundreds of guards, and then left Loulan Kingdom in a swaggering manner under the fearful gaze of hundreds of guards.
But everyone knows that the person who intimidated hundreds of guards into not moving at that time was not Fu Jiezi, but the powerful and powerful man standing behind him.
Although Jiang Wei did not intend to assassinate Xie Qian at the moment, when he mentioned Fu Jiezi's name, Xie Qian couldn't help but think of the famous words left by Fu Jiezi that have been passed down through the ages.
That sentence, coupled with the splendid martial power that Mi Yang brought to the big man, successfully made Xie Qian feel fearful.
At this moment, Xie Qian realized that although Jiang Wei standing in front of him did not bring a large number of followers.
But behind him there was actually a victorious Han army supporting him.
Because behind Jiang Wei was Mi Yang, the Han general.
With Mi Yang here, does Xie Qian dare to move?
After thinking of this, Xie Qian was like a deflated rubber ball. He looked at Jiang Wei in front of him and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing that Xie Qian was distracted by what he said, Jiang Wei took a step forward and gave Xie Qian one final persuasion:
"My uncle has a close relationship with Mr. Yang. Cao Rui may implicate my uncle in the future. Wouldn't my uncle consider this?
Compared with Cao Rui, my general is kind-hearted by nature, and he is never stingy in rewarding meritorious ministers.
Like my little nephew.
It had only been half a year since I first surrendered to the general, but I was able to get this important task to persuade my uncle to surrender. This fact fully reflects the general's broadmindedness.
In addition, my uncle should also be aware of the situation in Liangzhou. The two armies are currently in a confrontation. If the Wei army wins in the end, not only will his uncle not get any credit, but he will be liquidated.
But once the uncle can help the general to win, then his own safety and future fame and fortune will be guaranteed.
My uncle has been an official for many years, so how could he not understand this truth?
Now I will deliver a great opportunity to my uncle, should he still hesitate? "
When Jiang Wei said the last sentence earnestly, Xie Qian's body completely collapsed on the seat.
"I am willing to surrender!"

Love you.
